Active vs Inactive Courses | Plans

Activating Courses -  Plans/Licenses 

To enable course availability to users, Admins must apply an Active license/plan to the course.

  • Active courses are courses that have a plan/license associated with them.
  • Active courses can be accessed by registered users as well as those connecting via a direct URL.
  • Inactive courses are courses that do NOT have a plan/license associated with them.
  • Inactive courses are NOT accessible to users or via a direct URL.
  • Creating inactive courses enables school/company administrators and instructors to prepare their courses ahead of time without making them accessible to users before the course is fully setup.
